a) Spiritual Activity
Life in the Monastery centers on meditation. Prayers and litanies
are held daily morning, at noon and in the evening, . On
Sundays, five masses are celebrated in the morning.
Groups of priests and monks are frequently received for spiritual
retreats. The vast halls and the fifty rooms of the Monastery
make it a perfect place to receive large groups.

b) Agricultural Activity
Farming complements monastic life. The vast properties of the
Monastery, which extend from the mountain peaks to the coast,
permit the cultivation of all types of fruits and vegetables.

c) Developmental Activity
The mission of the Monastery is not limited to cultivating the
soil. It took a social dimension when part of the Monastery's
land was bequeathed freehold to farmers. The monks helped them
to build their homes and to manage their land through a socio-economic
program. With the monks' initiative, these properties broke away
from the Monastery to eventually form the villages of Aarabet
Qozhaya, El-Fraydiss, En-Naher, Hawqa, Bayader Rachiine and Rouweyssat.
